Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 22, 1921.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, Josnrrr GOODMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Handle-Locks;and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with theaccompanylng drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, tobe a full, clear, and enact description of the same, and which saiddrawings constitute part of this applicatlon, and represent, in-

Figure 1 a face view of a handle lock constructed in accordance with myinvention.

Fig. 2 a broken side view of the same.

Fig. 3 a broken view in vertical section.

Fig. 4 a face view of the locking pin detached. i i

Fig. 5 a side view of the same.

Fig. 7 a side view of the same.

This invention relates to an improvement in handle locks, and whileadapted for various purposes, is especially designed for automobiledoors. In the more eneral construction of handle locks the loc ingmechanism is arranged in the handle itself. This necessitates that thehandle shall be of sufficient size to contain the locking mechanism andis more or less restricted in design.

In automobile doors the faces are freuently curved or arranged at anangle to t e plane of the handle; and the object of i this invention isto so connect the escutcheon housing 12 connected by a web 30, thiscasing being mounted in a suitable recess formed for it in the door inwhich it is held in place by a face plate or escutcheon 13 which may besecured in place by screws the other door. The handle 19 may be of anyapproved design herein shown as of bar type formed with a round shank 20which fits in the shank housing 11 and with an inwardly extendinglatch-operating spindle 21. The shank is formed with a locking notch 22to receive the upper end of a verticall arranged locking pin 23 formedat its ower .end with a camdisk 24 having a cam groove 25 which receivesthe eccentric pin 26 at the inner end of a key cylinder 27 which ismounted in the key housing 12, the key opening being exposed through anopening formed for it in the face plate 13. The

knob shank is also formed with a shallow holding recess 28 adapted toreceive a spring actuated pin 29 mounted in the web 33, and

adapted to yieldingly hold the handle in its normal position whenunlocked. To look the handle the key cylinder is turned to raise the in23so as to force it into the locking note 22 so as. to firmly hold thehandleshank against rotation, thus preventing the operation of thelatch. The turning of the key. cylinder in the usual way draws the pindownward so as to disenga e it from the handle shank permitting thatandle to be freely turned. By connecting the face plate with the housingas shown, theplatemay stand at any desired angle with relation to thecasing and form a neat finish for the door. With this arrangement oflockin mechanism 1 am enabledto providethe andle shank with any 1 styleof handle desired without changing parts of the look. I claim A handlelock, the combination with a housing including a shank housing and a pintumbler lock housing, the front face of the casing formed with a recess,and a specification in the presence of two subface plate formed with aprojection in line scribing witnesses.

with, and adapted to enter said recess, and JOSEPH GOODMAN meansextending through the face plate 5 into the casin whereby the face platemay W1tIIe$SeS1 v be rockedwit relation to the casing. J. L. BRooKE'rr,

In testimony whereof, I have signed this J. G. HYMAN.
